Studio Diary: Ocean Alley
‘Chiaroscuro’ is the new album from Ocean Alley and it’s taken them to places unknown from the group. Grinding their teeth for years in the studio and on the road—with some huge festival slots under their belts—they’ve finally hit the big time with their adventurous album. The six-piece take us on an exclusive look-in their studio from the making of ‘Chiaroscuro’.
Baden singing and strumming along to something in the live room.
Mitch with his headphones off chatting to Angus next to him while they were playing live with the rest of the band.
Lead guitarist Angus working hard or hardly working. He is also a big fan of using the stool.
Tom donning some protective and fashionable eye wear.
Discussing the structure of Flowers and Booze. Not sure if it even worked out like this in the end.
Same as photo 6 but from a different viewpoint. Cool.
Nic doing something in the live room.
Angus, Baden and Mitch in the live room experimenting with beer cans on microphones. There is a sweet view out of the studio window too.
Baden finger picking on his beautiful Telecaster.
Tom drumming during some live recordings. Notice his butt microphone. It picks up all the shit talking.
Guitars tangled in a sea of cables and stands.
